Whoops, wrong thing in the net . . .

Saturday, Jan. 5th - When two teams in an 11-team division hold 5th and 6th-place in the standings fans can expect an entertaining game. And that’s exactly what fans did
get on Saturday at Morrisburg Arena when the Kemptville C-2 Panthers and the South Dundas C-2 Lions clashed.

Heated action in front of the Lion's net

South Dundas opened the game scoring, took a 3-2 1st-period lead, went up 4-3 in the middle frame and were outscored 2-1 in the final stanza to get the tie.
Affiliates Abby Mcurdy and Mason Roderick dressed for the Lion's Peewee team for this challenge.

The Lion’s Skyler Keeler notched a pair of goals in the opening period and was matched by the Panther’s Ashton Lalonde who tied the count. Aedan Norris put the Lions
up by one before the period ended when he snapped in a Jayden Dempsey set-up for the 3-1 lead.

Dempsey, who wears the Lion’s #11 jersey, and Lalonde, who wears the Panther’s #11 jersey, traded goals in the middle period. Lalonde’s was unassisted while Dempsey
was assisted by Rob walker.

Travis Faulkner fired a bullet from just inside the blue line that rang off the post before crossing the goal line to give the Lions a 5-3 lead early in the final
period. Sam McGowan brought the Panthers to within a single when he beat the South Dundas defence and scored on an unassisted play.

The excitement peaked just prior to Kemptville's Owen Murray scoring the tying goal with 16 seconds remaining in the game when he hammered the puck into the Lion’s net
while Kemptville pulled their goaltender and utilized an extra forward. Tie - 5-5.

The Lions have 10 games remaining in the regular season, the next one at home hosting the South Grenville Rangers on Saturday, Jan. 19th at 1:30 p.m.

Braves raid Lion's den in scoring spree . . .

Brockville's Josh Maggio beats Brogan Kyle for the final goal of the game on Friday evening at Morrisburg Arena . . .

Friday, Jan. 4th - The Peewee C House Lions have two games remaining to play on home ice before the end of the current schedule plays out. Their chances of making the
playoff round are slim but not impossible. And even though these young players may have experienced a somewhat dismal collection of statistics to date this season, if you watch them through a
game they are laughing and smiling and having a good time. To that end, we’d put them and their always optimistic coaching staff in around 1st maybe 2nd-place.

On Friday evening the 3rd-place Brockville Braves raided the Lion’s den and went back up the highway after scoring 11 goals. The Lion’s Logan Hoger started the night
between the pipes and absolutely nothing went right for a young netminder who has seen better nights. Much better nights! Brogan Kyle took over in the second period and faced a barrage
of shots from the constantly rushing Braves and he didn’t have any better luck than did Hoger. The Lion’s offence, when they did bear down, were somewhat effective against the Brockville
visitors, but neither did they get a single bounce in this game.

The period scores went 5-1 after the first (the lions scored the opening goal of the game), 7-1 following the second and 11-2 when the time clock ran out. And after
allowing 11 goals the Lions suddenly came to life and shut down any further scoring by the Braves over the 12-minute duration. And it wasn’t because the Braves simply gave in with the
victory. This South Dundas gang didn’t simply roll over. They played through to the end and were still laughing and smiling at the final buzzer.

And that’s why, when the kids are allowed to enjoy themselves, they call the game hockey.

The 8th-place Peewee C Lions play their next home game on Saturday, Jan. 19th at Morrisburg Arena against the 9th-place South Grenville Rangers in what should be a
good showdown. The two teams are very tight in the 11-team division, each standing at 12 points.

Lions maul Panthers in 7-4 drubbing . . .

The Lion's netminder had it covered all the way when Owen Murray tried this scoring attempt. South Dundas' goaltending duo of Brogan Kyle and Logan Hoger shut-down the Panther's heated
attack while Skyler Keeler led his team on a scoring spree . . .

Saturday, Dec. 29th - Skyler Keeler stole the show on Saturday afternoon at Morrisburg Arena. Keeler, who at any chance of putting the puck in the net, is possibly
the most zoned in goal-scorer in Dundas County. A natural hat-trick and a pair of assists in a 7-4 drubbing of the 6th-place Kemptville C-2 Panthers were credited to the South Dundas Peewee C-2
Lion’s #12, Keeler’s sweater.

Owen Murray opened the game scoring for the Panthers when he fired an unassisted marker early in the first period. Undaunted, the 8th-place Lions roared back with four
unanswered markers before the visiting Kemptville players were heard from again.

Ashable Weegar tied the game on a Robert Walker/Skyler Keeler set-up followed by Jayden Dempsey and Keeler with unassisted counters to go up 3-1. The Panthers
answered with a pair from Ashton Lalonde and Tyler Davies to close the second period in a 3-3 tie.

Keeler added a pair to put South Dundas back in the lead opening the final period, the first with Caleb Machan drawing the helper and the second unassisted. Rob Walker
increased the home team’s lead to 6-3 with five minutes remaining in the game on a Keeler set-up but Jason Hyndman kept the Panthers in it when he scored the visitor’s 4th-goal late in the
frame.

Travis Faulkner closed the game scoring when he fired an unassisted marker after rushing across the blueline, giving the Lions the 7-4 victory. Each team was called on
five minor infractions in this contest.

The C-2 Lions next home game will be Friday, Jan. 4th at 8:00 p.m. when the 3rd-place Brockville Braves come to Morrisburg Arena.

Rob Walker (middle of crowd) bangs one in for the Lions late in the third period . . .

Saturday, Dec. 15th - Following a tour to Smiths Falls and an upset victory there, the South Dundas Peewee C-2 Lions had a tough game on Saturday at Morrisburg

the Lions defence and past a screened goaltender, cutting the Lion’s lead to a single counter. South Dundas’ MacDonald put the Lion’s back in a 2-goal score when he notched the final marker
of the game with less than a minute remaining for the 3-1 victory.

C-2 hold the bragging rights . . .

Friday, Nov. 16th - An official decision on the status of who will have bragging rights on the South Dundas Peewee C House Hockey will not be final until February
23rd, 2019. And even then, it may be no one!

Currently the Peewee C-1 Lions are the owners on a win and a tie to date this season. The C-1 Lions whipped the C-2 entry on a 4-1 score in the first game on November
3rd. In a return match this past Friday evening the two teams battled, and we do mean battled, to a 1-1 tie after 75 minutes. And that leaves the title up in the air for the third and final
contest set for the final regular season game on February 232rd, 2019. Should the C-2 Lions continue to raise their game and win that one, the title could be up in the air for the off season, and
a clear winner be sought in 2020.

The game on Friday evening that ended in a 1-1 draw was just hard to fathom. Both teams skated and checked and shot and skated some more. Neither quit for a moment.
Goaltending at both ends of the ice was superb.

Lion’s C-2 scorer Rob Walker belted in a Skyler Keeler attempt when he was left in front of the crease with the rebound. Walker snapped a quick shot behind
Kelsey Duncan for the 1-0 lead.

Unfazed the C-1 Lions continued their dogged checking style, Reyen VanBeilen pushed into the opposition’s zone and on intercepting a clearing pass, fired a low,
along the ice wrist shot that eluded net minder Brogan Kyle, and the score was tied. VanBeilen’s counter was unassisted.

Only three minor infractions were handed out in the game, two went to the C-1 Lions.

The 7th-place Peewee C-2 House Lions play their next home game at Morrisburg Arena on Sunday, Dec. 9th against the 10th place Smiths Falls Bears. Game time is 12:30
p.m.

Division leaders score in bunches . . .

Brogan Kyle turned away tis shot during the game on Saturday . . .

Saturday, Nov. 10th - It’s appears, at first glance, to have been a tough season to date for the Peecee C-2 House Lions, although their 50/50 won (1-tie) loss
record doesn’t look so bad. Hosting the 1st-place Leeds Chargers on Saturday at Morrisburg Arena the visitors felt comfortable enough to unleash their somewhat impressive firepower.

The Chargers have played in eight games to date. The have scored an average of more than seven goals per game, while goaltenders Colton Kadium and Nicholas Burley have
allowed a very stingy 2.5 goals against. They’ve lost a single game.

The Lions are holdng on with three wins and a tie, have an average of three goals per game and have allowed 4.5 goals against. They lead in penalty time by a
considerable margin.

In spite of falling behind on a 5-2 note in the opening period on Saturday the locals refused to quit, hammering away at every opportunity against the league leaders.
They didn't win the game, but the Chargers knew they were there.

Leeds went on to add a single goal in the middle period and three counters, all unanswered, in the last 18 minutes. The Lions did double the Chargers on the
penalty count.

In what promises to be a very exciting upcoming game the 6th-place Lions Peewee C-2 House will host the 8th-place Lions Peewee C-1 House on Friday, Nov. 16th at 8:00
p.m. at Morrisburg Arena.

Faulkner scores hat trick . . .

Lions strike final blow in last minute . . .

Defenceman Travis Faulkner scored a hat trick in an exceptional game on Friday evening at Morrisburg Arena . . .

Friday, Nov. 2nd - The 5th-place Lions Peewee C-2 House team and the South Grenville C-2 House entry went at it in old fashioned hockey on Friday evening in a
barn-burner of a game. Fans were treated to three periods of great action, the first with teams trading gaols, the second with the Lion’s scoring an unanswered counter, and the third with the
Rangers coming back to tie the game with only one minute and four seconds remaining.

Unfortunately for the visiting South Grenville team, caging a Lion isn’t as easily done as one might tend to believe. South Dundas’ defenceman Travis Faulkner picked
up the puck following the ensuing face-off, raced down the ice and with just 18 seconds remaining in the game beat the Rangers Trey Minish for the winning goal and a 5-4 victory for South Dundas.
Not only did Faulkner score the winning goal, he had scored a pair earlier in the game and assisted on a Rob Walker near poetic effort on the Lion’s fourth goal of the game.

South Dundas took the lead in this match on a Brandon Crawford score early in the opening period. Jocelyn Sanger got that one back for the Rangers when Nathan Holmes
set up a scoring play.

Second period action saw Travis Faulkner start the rare road to a hat trick when he gave the Lions a 2-1 lead on an end-to-end rush and goal early in the middle
period. Faulkner scored the single goal in this frame.

In the final period the Lions took a 3-1 lead less than a minute in when Faulkner nailed his second counter of the contest. The Rangers kept it close when they stormed
back to cut the lead to a single again with Ethan Halliday doing the damage. Rob Walker fired a beauty set up by Faulkner to give the Lions back the 2-goal margin with seven minutes remaining.

Walker’s goal gave the game all the makings for a showdown and Gavin Davis answered that call for the rangers when he picked off a Halladay pass and whipped the puck
into the Lions net. Now a single goal behind.

The fans were leaning when Kyle Hermer stole the puck during a South Dundas attack with just more than a minute remaining, scooted down the ice and scored the tying
goal, silencing the east side of the fan gallery while the west side came up with a deafening cheer. The Ranger’s fans are not the only group that has been silenced by a sudden roar and deadly
attack. But they are the ones who suffered that fate in the final minute of the game when Travis Faulkner roared down the ice and scored the winning goal with 18 seconds remaining in the game.
Faulkner’s goal was his third of the night, and his team’s winning counter on the game.

Peewee C-2 House Lions play their next home game at Morrisburg Arena on Saturday, Nov. 10th at 3:00 p.m. when the Leeds Chargers come to town.

And the bragging rights go to . . .

Bryce Kirkwood was turned away on this rush in Saturday's game . . .

Saturday, Nov. 3rd - In the first of the ‘bragging rights’ games in the Peewee House division of South Dundas players the Peewee C-1 outscored the C-2 Lions entry to
boast their prowess throughout the community. For now . . .

The C-1 Lions notched three goals in the opening period and added a single in the final 12 minutes to take a 4-1 victory to the loudspeaker. Bryce Kirkwood scored
very early in the game when he picked up the puck deep in his own zone, rushed around the defending team and wired a shot past the C-2 net minder and into the twine. The counter was unassisted.

Luke Byvelds then added a pair of goals before the period closed, both on great break-out passes from Reyen VanBeilen, to give the C-1
Lions a 3-0 lead. Brandon Crawford got one back for the C-2 squad when he managed to get in close to goal tender Kelsey Duncan and slip a shot into the net.

Neither team scored in the middle frame and Kirkwood added a second goal in the final 15 minutes when he relayed a Jordan Lowe pass into a goal late in the game for
the 4-1 victory.

Saturday, Oct. 21 - In spite of taking an early lead in their first meeting of the season the South Dundas Peewee C-2 House fell to the Kemptville C-1 Panthers on a 4-2
count on Saturday afternoon at Morrisburg Arena. Skyler Keeler, who had several good chances in the game notched an unassisted marker to open the scoring late in the first period for a 1-0
Lion’s lead.

Griffin Forman got that one back for the Panthers when he beat the Lion’s defence and fired a smoker for the goal. Nolan Severenuk drew the assist. Jaekob Seymour gave
the Panthers a 2-1 lead early in the final period when he and Matthew Lohnes combined for the go-ahead goal.

Brandon Crawford made a game of it when he picked off a clearing pass and beat Ivan Lockwood in the Panther’s net to tie the score once again. Unfortunately for the
Lions, Forman picked off his second counter Lohnes gave the Panther’s the insurance marker when they each scored late in the contest.

The Lions sat out three minor infractions while the Panthers were assessed a pair of two-minute infractions. The Peewee C-2 House Lions next home game will be at
the Morrisburg Arena on Friday, Nov. 2nd at 8:00 p.m.
